  • Edmund Walsingham’s surname suggests that his forbears came from Norfolk, but the only known ones were a prosperous cordwainer of London followed by vintners who bought property in Chislehurst and elsewhere in Kent. His father was prominent in that county, which he helped to represent at the Field of Cloth of Gold; another of James Walsingham’s sons William, father of the illustrious Sir Francis, was a lawyer who also served in local administration.
